"Skipped $DEFAULT" in log

1999-12-19 22:34:09
I've been keeping a log of what procmail is doing and I've noticed
something a little strange...

-------------------------------------
procmail: Skipped "$DEFAULT"
From steve  Sun Dec 19 02:25:02 1999
 Subject: Mail Stats for the day
  Folder: /home/steve/mail/private                                          948
-------------------------------------

Now it only happens when I send mail to myself.  I'm not losing any
mail so it's not a huge concern.  I was just wondering what procmail
is trying to tell me here.

Relevant parts of ~/.procmailrc:
------------------------------------
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=${MAILDIR}/INBOX

:0
* ^To:.*steve
${MAILDIR}/private

### (this is at the end of ~/.procmailrc so if a mail can't be matched
### anywhere it goes into the INBOX)
:0
* .
$DEFAULT
-----------------------------------

If a mail that I send myself gets matched to go into ~/mail/private
why does it seem that procmail is continuing down ~/.procmailrc and
telling me that it is skipping $DEFAULT?  And why does it only happen
when I send mail to myself?
